As part of this year’s Pesticide Action Week, Junglinster Commune is hosting two information, awareness raising and sharing events on 24 and 25 March.
On Friday evening, at the Cultural Centre “am Duerf”, Fred Jomaux will perform in “Grain de Voyous”, a light-hearted look at man’s relationship with nature and dependence on pesticides. The next day, a series of conferences and workshops will dig deeper into the subject.
Both events will be held at the Cultural Centre “am Duerf” in Junglinster — 8, Rue du Village, Junglinster. There is a small parking lot opposite the Centre and more parking in the centre of Junglinster.
Information stands about nature, the environment and pesticide-free alternatives, and stands selling some organic food and wine products will also be in the Centre culturel "am Duerf”. There’ll also be a science club, show cooking, a herbalist, organic wine, flowers and more to browse through.
